Hungary to maintain import ban on Ukrainian agricultural produce
Hungary is maintaining the import ban on Ukrainian agricultural produce as the interests of Hungarian farmers “always come first”, István Nagy, the agriculture minister, said on Monday as he received Taras Kachka, Ukraine’s deputy minister of economic development and trade.
Nagy noted that Hungary nevertheless allows the transit of Ukrainian produce to other markets by land and by sea, according to a ministry statement, adding that the EU autonomous trade measures would be enforced until June 5 next year. Hungary’s key interest was for the bloc “to put regulations on the table” that took the country’s interests into account, it said.
The minister also expressed hope that the war in Ukraine would end as soon as possible with a “reassuring” resolution.
